The purpose of this study was to examine the differences in the perceptions of self-determination theory-based constructs such as the psychological needs support from the teacher and one’s peers, perceived satisfaction of the needs for competence, autonomy, relatedness, as well as different types of motivation in physical education among students with different organized afterschool sport exper...

The recall factor is low when keywords are used to retrieve information, and many related documents are omitted. Semantic annotation is used to comment documents to improve the recall factor. While extremely large instances querying requirements may crash ABox reasoner. In this research, a method is proposed to improve the efficiency of semantic retrieving via combining ABox reasoning and datab...

The estimation of quantitative genetic parameters in wild populations is generally limited by the accuracy and completeness of the available pedigree information. Using relatedness at genomewide markers can potentially remove this limitation and lead to less biased and more precise estimates. We estimated heritability, maternal genetic effects and genetic correlations for body size traits in an...

While the strategic management literature suggests that related diversification is superior to unrelated diversification, there is little evidence that acquirers benefit from pursuing related targets. We argue that the empirical literature is plagued by poor measures of relatedness. Moreover, many empirical studies do not control adequately for the characteristics of the market for corporate co...

Most people desire to have a romantic relationship, and most child. The paper suggests one respect in which it is more desirable child with partner rather than someone other partner, as platonic parents do. first premise claims that the only this has certain constitutive part. This be related can be. That ‘desire for relatedness’ part of relationship explains why those by tend become ways partn...

Bacterial growth and virulence often depends upon the cooperative release of extracellular factors excreted in response to quorum sensing (QS). We carried out an in vivo selection experiment in mice to examine how QS evolves in response to variation in relatedness (strain diversity), and the consequences for virulence. We started our experiment with two bacterial strains: a wild-type that both ...

Estimating word relatedness is essential in natural language processing (NLP), and in many other related areas. Corpus-based word relatedness has its advantages over knowledge-based supervised measures. There are many corpus-based measures in the literature that can not be compared to each other as they use a different corpus. The purpose of this paper is to show how to evaluate different corpu...

Animals often use social information about conspecifics in making decisions about cooperation and conflict. While the importance of kin selection in the evolution of intraspecific cooperation and conflict is widely acknowledged, few studies have examined how relatedness influences the evolution of social information use. Here we specifically examine how relatedness affects the evolution of a st...

Computing the semantic relatedness between two entities has many applications domains. In this paper, we show a new way to compute the semantic relatedness between two resources using semantic web data. Moreover, we show how this measure can be used to compute the semantic relatedness between music genres which can be used for music recommendation systems. We first describe how to build a vecto...

Word sense disambiguation (WSD) methods evolve towards exploring all of the available semantic information that word thesauri provide. In this scope, the use of semantic graphs and new measures of semantic relatedness may offer better WSD solutions. In this paper we propose a new measure of semantic relatedness between any pair of terms for the English language, using WordNet as our knowledge b...
